TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a diabetic foot rehabilitation nursing support. BACKGROUND

[0002] Diabetic foot is a foot infection, ulcer and deep tissue damage caused by peripheral neuropathy and lower extremity vascular disease in diabetic patients, and is one of the most serious and highest cost chronic complications of diabetes. Diabetic patients have reduced foot sensation, abnormal foot pressure distribution, and are extremely prone to ulceration due to minor trauma, and the wound is difficult to heal, and severe cases may even require amputation.

[0003] In the nursing and rehabilitation process of diabetic foot, reducing foot pressure, keeping the foot dry and ventilated, preventing infection and promoting wound healing are the core principles. The existing nursing methods include the use of special insoles, pressure-reducing shoes, etc., but there are generally problems such as incomplete pressure reduction, poor air permeability, and single functionality. Ordinary supports or braces often ignore the regulation of the microenvironment of the foot, and the material is hard, which can easily cause new compression points. At the same time, diabetic patients are prone to sweating on their feet, which can breed bacteria and produce odors, increasing the difficulty of nursing and the risk of infection.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive nursing support that integrates pressure reduction protection, ventilation, antibacterial deodorization, and rehabilitation promotion. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a diabetic foot rehabilitation nursing support to solve the technical deficiencies of the prior art.

[0007] Preferably, the shock-absorbing structure of the foot pad is a honeycomb elastic silicone pad or a built-in shock-absorbing air cushion.

[0008] Preferably, the strap is a Velcro strap or an elastic buckle strap.

[0009] Preferably, the deodorizing layer is a fabric layer impregnated with activated carbon or bamboo charcoal fiber.

[0010] Preferably, the wear-resistant layer is a wear-resistant sheet made of rubber or TPU material.

[0011] Preferably, the inner sides of the ankle support plate and the foot support plate are lined with soft sponge pads.

[0012] Preferably, the foot plate is made of lightweight, high-strength carbon fiber composite material or medical polymer material.

[0013] Beneficial effects This invention provides a rehabilitation and nursing support for diabetic foot, which has the following significant advantages: Highly effective pressure relief and foot protection: Through the built-in shock-absorbing sole pad and foot-shaped rigid support structure, it can effectively redistribute and buffer the pressure on the sole of the foot, avoiding the concentration of pressure on ulcers or areas prone to ulceration, and creating the best healing environment for the foot.

[0014] Exceptional breathability and antibacterial properties: The numerous ventilation openings in the support structure, combined with the functional blended materials of the sock body, create a well-ventilated and dry microenvironment. Silver and chitosan fibers provide broad-spectrum, long-lasting antibacterial capabilities, significantly reducing the risk of infection.

[0015] Balancing comfort and functionality: The strap design allows for flexible adjustment based on limb swelling, preventing excessive pressure. The socks are soft and skin-friendly, with a soft lining inside the support further enhancing wearing comfort. A durable abrasion layer at the bottom extends their lifespan.

[0016] Integrated care solution: This invention integrates multiple functions such as pressure management, ventilation, antibacterial, deodorization, and wear resistance into one system, providing a comprehensive and efficient home care solution for diabetic foot, reducing the risk of complications and promoting patient recovery.

[0017] Easy to use: The structure is reasonably designed, making it easy to put on, take off, and adjust, which is convenient for patients to use daily and for nursing staff to operate. Attached Figure Description
